The penny machine was out of order.
Token Machine 1 was next to it in working order.
We inquired at the the gift shop at the West entrance if they had anymore penny presses. We were told no.
To our surprise, we found another penny press in the Kitamba Cafe. However, the screen was frozen and we were unable to use it.
